I wouldn't trade Ballard and a back of pucks for a Polish hockey player. We're playing hockey, not making perogies. Now...if Subban was called Kowalskov, that would be a different matter.

LOL fyi Jankowski is a college player who could be UFA mid-August and the Flames are really eager to sign him before that happens because to quote an Eric Francis article on Sportsnet earlier this month: "Once considered a long shot, Jankowski now holds all the cards as he’s evolved into a player every NHL team would be interested in."

Ghostsof1915 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) Desi instead of spouting nonsense would you like to provide a quote or TANGIBLE proof that Benning "hates" Subban? Back up your allegations with facts. Then again if you paid attention to facts you might enjoy hockey more. Burrows has struggled to get points, but he still blocks shots, checks, and does a lot of little things that got him into the league in the first place. The only issue is the game seems to have left him lagging behind. I hope he goes into coaching. It will be sad the day we have to let him go.

It has nothing to do with not wanting Burrows character and everything to do with the direction the team is heading. Also, it’s not like this team is short of heart and soul players.

24K PureCool Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 We should print this thread out and put it with nice binding and present it to Burrowas as a gift from the fans when he eventually leave the Nucks. So can we make it to 500 pages before he leaves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah for sure ....but if it's done whole sale then you end up with the Oilers model. You DO need mentoring if you want to get the best from your youngsters for years to come. Take your pick we settle for youngster bent on themselves and partying or we settle on a smooth transition form one generation to the next ....more like other clubs such as Detroit or the "old" Canadiens....pass the torch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many veteran leaders does a team really need? I would say the Sedins are move valuable in leadership than Burrows, they are likely all we really need. Burrows isn’t going to make or break it, In fact all he’s doing it taking a up a roster spot so a young player can’t make the team. Hard to mentor, when the kids are stuck out of the line up. Also some of them aren’t so young anymore. Horvat will be in his 3rd NHL season next year, Toews was already captaining his team to a Stanley cup in his 3rd season. People need to stop using the comparison of the oilers. It’s doesn’t work. Oilers handed over the keys of the team to 18 year olds. As soon as they were in the NHL, they were giving 1st line minutes and expected to carry the team. Oilers, at the time, didn’t have any other options, Smyth was washed up and Hemsky isn’t a role model. Canucks have the twins, and as long as the twins are here, they will have the keys to the team. As long as the twins are here, we never have to worry about going full oilers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I sort of disagree. I think we are short of heart and soul on this club. This makes Burrows very necessary. The issue with Burrows is his contract and what hew can truly deliver on ice. If he was making 2.5M I would have no issue keeping him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a $1.5m salary wouldn't save him now IMO. His problem isn't his salary, it isn't his leadership and it certainly isn't his 'try'. He'd be a roadblock to a younger guy who needs to play. There's no room at the inn. ESPECIALLY if we manage to spend some of our vast cap space on a UFA this summer. Very likely he's bought out. Might get waived where he can certainly bring those VALUABLE leadership traits to our prospects in Utica (and likely pass waivers easily given his salary). I doubt he gets traded (even at 50%). Doubt he retires (but if he agreed to and I'm the Canucks, I offer him a coaching gig pronto). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
